BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Need more time and to see one in person. So im on the fence ATM.

Yesterday my ford cmax came and we spent the day out in it giving it a good test. Was very very happy at getting over 60MPG as well. There was one down side that was sorted to my satisfaction by the dealer i brought it from. In the ad for the car it said it had a "Power Tailgate" , but sad...

Not had time the last 2 weeks to get out on the bike to try it with the smaller top box.
Will try this week, but again a busy week ahead for me.

No I didn’t see that, what was the cost ?. Agreed the mpg even on this tiny engine is not great, maybe 35 to 40 ish. Best car we had was the first and only time the wife bought new, 54 plate 1.8 diesel focus 115, comfortable, quick, good economy, I loved driving it, did 100k then sold it for a kia....

We’ve got an 18 plate 1.0L eco boost focus, bought just before lockdown. It’s ok but we’re looking to change it for something else soon that’s easier to get in and out of and maybe a bit more guts!. There’s zero engine braking on the little turbo engines. Had hybrid in mind but will probably just s...

You could always change the covers so you can fit the engine bars.
But dont BMW do guards that fit the 719 covers ?

Today i spent all the money i got from the sale of my car the other day and a little bit more. Brought myself a 2018/18 Ford C-Max Titanium X Navigation 1.5 Diesel. It has 44k miles and what sold me on it was its just had one owner in the 7 years from new. It coming from up north and is being delive...

So the wife and i popped into Fords Newport yesterday to book her car in for a service and new cambelt/water pump as the car is 10 years old in June this year. The total cost will be £1132 which i thought was high. The service is £209 and the Cambelt/water pump is £923. Both the wife and i said &quo...

Well it was not a con. I picked him up from the train station at 1.30pm and he has just left now with the car. We went over town and i put the money into my bank and also sorted the paperwork out at the post office. It was hard seeing my car of 7 years being driven off by someone else. He was and is...

Martin, have you had a pillion yet with the 28L box ?, just sitting on the back of my rt after fitting it and I’m not sure if there’s the same amount of room ?. No mate not yet. She does not go pillion much anyway on the RT as she rides her own bike. She goes pillion in the winter mostly on the Var...

Just had a text from him, and he is coming Tuesday by train and i will pick him up at the local station.
If he turns up great and i will go from there. If he does not turn up then all i have lost in some time.

I wouldn't do anything until you have the money in full. Give him a time limit, after that say good bye I'm giving him untill next Wednesday to pay and pick the car up. But i dont think it is going to happen. I've been talking to the wife and we both think if he does not have the car, i'm going to ...

So i'm now giving him till the end of the day to send me a deposit. and the balance when he picks the car up. The money he said he sent yesterday did not appear. This morning when i asked for £100 deposit he said he sent £500. no money is my account. The strange thing is everthing adds up with his n...

He sent me a screen shot this morning showing the money has gone from his account, But i've not had it yet. The screen shots shows his Bank, sort code and account number. So i went into my account and opened "make a payment". All the bank info is correct for the bank and is matched to his ...

The top box bag is here andits just what i needed to keep everything tidy inside the top box. Also i said to the wife i need a new key ring for the top box key. She then popped into the bedroom and came back with a key ring in hand. It made me smile , but it will do the job nicely. 20250416_105927.j...
